Fnm tkt It. T. Tribune. One of Dr. BoiUIioj'b forgottoa eolognes beRinswith, "Whom Bra they nshonng from the world, with all this long p trade and pomp of death?" and from the reHponso it appeara that the funoral is that of an alderman who died worth bis plum. ThoHO of onr roaders vho have a taste for such grimly brilliaut dw playa bare found full descriptions in our columns of the honors paid upon this side of the ooean to the dust of George Teabody. For our own part, as taste is licensed, we cannot but regret that the obsequies of this excellent and generous man were not con ducted with something less of parade, and with observances more indicative of his peaoeful and private career. The stately Bhip-of-war, the little fleot of armed vessels which floated in attendance, the thunderous ealutes which poured from 4 'the adamantine lips" of gigantic ordnance, the soenio arrange ment of the chamber of state are we wrong in the suggestion that these are not tributes which would have oommended themselves to the simple tastes of the departed merchant, could he have foreseen them? Those of his last thoughts which were not given to the amelioration of the condition of the poor, were bestowed npon more than princely pro jects for the cultivation of the human intel lect; and a train of sohool-ohildren following the bier as mourners would have been far ' more appropriate than bristling regiments of infantry moving with the precision of battle array, as if they were following to the sepul chre a master of the bloody art of war. It is a hingnlar proof either of the poverty of our resources or the perversion of our taste, that we are unable to projoct and carry out publio displays, even of the more peaceful charaoter, without a profuse and most inappropriate waste of gunpowder. If Mr. George Pea Lody had been the hero of battles-royal by sea, or of great and decisive engagements by land, the etiquette of his profession would have required his oompanions-in-arms to pay him the usual professional tribute. But the excellent man was a dealer in stocks. It would have made no difference, we suppose, in the display, if he had been a poet. If some Btranger unacquainted with the truth had seen "the funeral car" which was used at Portland, a miracle of sombre mag nificence, fourteen feet long and seven feet wide, ten feet high, draped with black broad cloth, and with black velvet, silver-fringed, decorated with white tassels and black ro settes, and surmounted by a stuffed eagle, the whole being drawn by "six magnifloent liorsea caparisoned in black to their feet," if a stranger had seen this, and heard the salvos thundering from fort and arsenal; and if this observer had been told that this was the funeral pageant of a distinguished man, would he for a moment have surmised that these were honors paid to "a distinguished philanthropist '(" Nor would his wonder at the pomp without have been lessened by the pomp within the great hall from which the light of the blessed sun was excluded, its walls black with heavy hangings, its ceiling supporting a sable canopy, while the inscrip tions are a Latin scrap from Sallust, and an other Latin scrap from Terence, with two more Latin scraps from nobody in particular. The catafalque upon which the bones of the old philanthropist were laid was a marvel of upholntery. And finally the railway car which oarried Mr. Peabody s remains to his little native village was a more mournfully magnifi cent vehicle than any which ever before moved over the iron road. There was not one of these honors, so they bad been appropriate, which the least genial man would have grudged to the memory of the great and charitable merchant; but we must be pardoned for thinking that to a great extent they lacked sobriety, and must have been distasteful to deep and genuine feeling. If ever a good man deserved honors not in the least theatrical, as little as possible con ventional, that man was George Peabody. The Greeks would have wreathed his coffin with the brightest of flowers and carried it upon its last journey, with many a song of triumphant and hopeful significance. We venture upon these remarks mainly be cause we deeply revere the character of Mr. Peabody, and fully appreciate the excellence of his example. In an age of profuse gene rosity, his imperial largesse, bestowed by his living hand, dwarfs all the mortuary gifts in ecclesiastical history, and makes many a cele brated bequest small by comparison. Men are not common who, having spent long years in the accumulation of wealth, devote their last days to its lavish expenditure. Apart from the great foundations which will pre serve his name, Mr. Peabody will be remem bered as almost the originator of a new sys tem of public munificence. The miser dies With hia cold greedily clutched, leaving heirs to wrangle over it nd the law to waste it, and the next generation will forget his name. Mr. Peabody will be remembered as one free from a frequent infirmity of old age, who divested himself of millions, and went, comparatively a poor man, to the tomb. "A MAGAZINE MYSTERY." From tkt tT. V. World. Captain Mayne Reid, who is very well and very creditably known as the author of num- rous melodramatic relations of moving acci dents by flood and field, has lately appeared in the new character of the projector and conductor of a magazine, of the existence of which we imagine many of our readers are xtow for the first time apprised. The name of it was Onward, and it has been conducted no rapidly onward that in the February num ber it gives up the ghost, having flickered fit fully for fourteen months. To Captain Mayne Reid this untoward con- BnmmauOU is uut vuiy uuuouuuto, uui iuex plicable. It strikes mm witn wonder that a publication which had the advantage not only of his contribution, but of his management, bhould thus earlv die. and make no siim upon the politics or the society of the country and the age in which it appeared. Why is this thus?. "Why," says Captain Mayne Reid, in the hour of his aeonv "why has Onteard not received public support?" And to this ouostion he auks nay, ha "demands" from the universe in general an "explanation." He has tried, he knows he has, to do his readers good. II has tried to give them "teachings," and to "inculcate" in them a faith." And yet they have refrained from buying his magazine with an unanimity and a persUtency which, it Beoma to him, can only iiave been born in spite, ana wnicu lie can only view with profound and simple disgust. What renders it still more strange, in the view of Captain Mayne Reid, is that the press has uttered a "picaii of unpaid praise" in his behalf. And he cites some sixteen pases of notices from the provincial press, which all nrur to rraise him. from the Aromtook JSoneer in Maine and the Canajoharie State T?n,1:i in Now York, to the fit. John the liiv iit "Pioneer In LnniniAnal the Shnkmee Arout I in MinnRota,and thefltor Mountain Chron- icle in California. Home natural tears must be dropped, of course, over the intimely death of even an infant magazine by the author of its being, and some astonishment may also be permitted to mtfielC with one's sorro. Bu,t (h.9 Jpro- Jet tors of most rnAgazlnns indulge moir wonder and their grief in silence. That Cap tain Mayne Reid refuses to "eat bis heart alone," but, contrariwise, wears it upon his sleeve for editorial daws to peck at, argues an unusual degree of ingenuousness in him; and our notion of that characteristic is enhanood when we see him gravely quoting the puffs of the provincial press as evidences of merit. It does not, we awmre" him, afford the least basis of hope for a magazine that the Scheve. nut Monitor should pronounce it to be "just the work for the gentleman, the lady, and the soholar;" that the - Wapakoneta Union should assert it to be "one of the finest illus trated magazines of the land;" that the Oquawka Spectator should commend it for being "a beautiful magazine and the contents excellent;" ,that the Dowagiac Republican should "consider it superior to any magazine w roeive;" or even that the Waupaca Crite rion should test it and find "the literary mat ter of the first order its tone high." Captain Mayne Reid's mistake seems to have been in supposing that because he oould write popular stories he could conduct a popu lar magazine. The two require entirely dif ferent and, to some extent, incompatible qualifications. One of the three things which, in the view of Sydney Smith, every Englishman believed himself competent to do was to "edit a newspaper." Though the complication and extension of journalism since his time have dispelled this dream, every educated Englishman, and every edu cated American as well, still clings to the fond faith that he could edit a magazine, which is a simpler business to look at, and that he could evolve from his inner con sciousness an ideal magazine far better than the best actual one. Every little while snoh a being endeavors to carry his notions into practice. But the amateur magazine editor and his money are soon parted. Ihe maga zine fails not necessarily from its intrinsio demerits, but from its failure to hit the taste of the time and its conductor is smitten with wonder like the wonder of Captain Mayne Reid. The history of magazines is strewn with such wrecks. We are inolined to think that there are not more than three profitable magazines in this country. Harper's is the most successful; and it is so not because it is written for by the ablest men, but merely because it is the best edited. It understands its audience better than any other. Like the aquaria of the lamented Barnum, "it amuse and in struct." And its amusement and instruction are both conveyed in so lively and lucid a way as to be quite intelligible to the average American mind. The Atlantic aims higher, and contains more articles by men of name. The names sell the magazine; but it is nota ble that not one of them has been won through the magazine, though it has been established for more than ten years, and that, except what is contributed by these few habitual writers to it, its contents are selected with wretched taste. The Ualazy has the advantage over either of the others of not being really or ostensibly so mere a tender to a publishing-house. It has published many striking articles; and it3 most conspicuous defect, its inequality in merit, may be ex pected to disappear as its age increases. Putnam's, under the new and capable management of Parke Godwin, may reason ably be looked for to sbiw xiuie gleams of its ancient fire, and to attract to it the contribu tions of those brilliant writers who made its first series the most entertaining magazine ever published in this country. Real and rigid editing is what mainly makes the difference in this department be tween success and failure. ine editor of a magazine ought not to content himself with merely looking over what contributions it may please Providence to send him, correct ing copy, and picking the rubbish out of the flotsam and jetsam thrown upon his shores, He ought to exercise such a control as shall insure every prominent topic of full treat ment, and make his magazine a symmetrical whole, and not "a fortuitous concourse of atoms." This demands a special aptitude and a special training. And it was in the absence in themselves of that aptitude and that train ing that Captain Mayne Reid and many others in liis predicament may hnd the explanation ol their late DRUNKENNESS ABATING. From tht Baltimore American, There is at the present time a more cheer ing indication of the progress of temperance in tne matter of strong drmk than has been the case for years. In all parts of the country we observe movements that are hopeful and promising. Heretofore temperance societies nave been tormea mostly of temperate people, ana dui iew 01 tneir memuers wouia diiaK even if they belonged to no society. They have labored earnestly, but not in the right direction. They nave held their meetings and discoursed upon the evils of in temperance mostly to those who are fully convinced of its destructive ell eels on the hu man system. They have not associated with moderate drinkers, who are the most dan gerous class, but have rather sought for the confirmed sots for whom there is no redemp tion. They have endeavored to rescue men wno may be drawn ou iroin tneir lolly for a brief period, but who are sure to return to it as the hog to its wallow. Those who have watched the confirmed dmnkard oueht to know that in ninety-nine cases out of a hun- urea a permanent reclamation is impossible ine fact is that the sooner such people die tne better it is for themselves, for their fami lies, ana lor all counected with them, and probably for their own souls. The experieace ui uio aiiuua uroBKaras asylums proves this, -v. ovuuoi uio wuueraie unnRer 13 con vinced that he is gradually approaching the penoa wnen ne win become a confirmed and unreaeemaoie sot, tne better it will be for the success 01 tne temperance cause. true, some men maybe able to restrain tneir appetite for liquor within reasonable bounds, and continue through life to be luouuntie annuers. uui every such mode rate drinker, by his example, tempts others to take an occasional drink who have not the power m uuuirot tneir appetites, lie is con. stonily inviting bis friends to take ft Hnniul 'gloss, and oftentimes thinks it a good joke to maKe mem hiby. xui, ii ne Will oniv examin the daily lists of deaths in the papers, he will find that almost one-third of his male ac quaintances hove shortened their lives, if thev have not met a sudden death, bv endea. voring to follow his example as a moderate drinker. The fact is that one-half the drunkards in the world have to blame tneir fathers and mothers for their downfall. The parading of liquor on their sideboards, the drinking of it at their tables, and the free access of their children to it lays the foundation of the appe tite, which grows with their growth, and strencthens with their strength. Thev sin it with sugar and water in their childhood, and crow up witn the idoa mat it is mnnlr to drink and be merry. They also are impressed with the conviotion that the man who will not accept an invitation to drink is a dolt, and that he who will not invite every fr!en3 lie t"??18 t? !BH f.fiVwi Ti'ith bin is s niggard of bis money. They should be taught that a man who tempts another to drink is a fool, and that he who refuses to partake of th.it which will destroy both soul and bodv is wise In bis day and generation. ine favorable indications to which we allude are not the formation ef societiM. but a gradual breaking down of the prejudices of education on this question of drinking. The numerous deaths that are constantly occur ring from intemperance are having; the effect 01 convincing men mat it is now dangerous to drink even moderately. The linnora that our forefathers imbibed had not such a killing c'lttnw nio ikiuuih 01 me present aay. They did not "steal away the brain" or ssd the foundations of health with such rapidity as the stuffs that are now labelled brandy and whisky. Two or three classes over noht not cause an aching head and a fevered breath next morning, nordid it oocasionthatlnnmn for more which now invariably follows exces sive indulgence. They could drink mode rately, or even occasionally to exoess. without becoming sots, but the liquors of the prosent generation sap both the brain and heart, and make a drivelling dotard of the strong man. We know quite a number who are now. approaching premature death, and several others who have staggered into a drunkard's grave during the past vear. who ten years ago were strong and hearty men, confident in the belief that they could always couiroi weir ktowidr appetites. Tnev were good husbands and fathers, drove their own carriages, kept fast horses, were prosperous business men, and excellent members of so ciety. Liquor, however, soon destroyed their business capacities, led to the waste of their means and the destitution of their fami lies. Borne of them are now dead; the others are following rapidly in their wake. They are beyond reclamation, and we are satisfied, from a lifetime observation, that they are not the parties to be looked to by those who would advance the cause of temperance. Thoy will do to point the moderate drinker to as a warning of the fate which sooner, or later awaits him. They are practical illustrations of the evils of strong drink, but as" well might you attempt to cure the palsy or restore the consumptive as to permanently cure the man who has been inoculated witn the worst form of drunkenness. Let fathers and mothers take this matter in hand, and keep it away from their houses. iney are committing a sin 01 tne most grievous charaoter when they familiarize their children with its use, or set them an example wnicn tney are sure to louow. bo also with their guests and visitors, if they were to come to your houses drunk you would con sider it a great outrage, but how much greater is the offense on your part when you en deavor to send them home to their families intoxicated ! This false idea of hospitality is being broken down, and we Know 01 fifty families in Baltimore that braved public opinion by refusing to set liquor before their visitors on Christmas and New Year's. We predict that the example of this fifty will be followed by hundreds at the close of the present year amid the festivities of the holi day season. TnE SUBMARINE CABLE TO ASIA. From, the JV. Y. Timet. The Committee on Commerce has reported without amendment the bill to encourage telegraphic communication between the eastern and western nemispneres, or. in other words, the Pacific cable bill. The pro ject itself is an old one, antedating the pur chase of Alaska, and indeed begun, we be lieve, before the first Atlantio cable was laid, In its original shape, however, it relied more on the land route than at present. In those earlier days of submarine telegraphy, the chances of failure in long ocean lines, asd the losses which failure involved, induced engineers to plan the shortest possible sub marine routes, no matter what additional and costly land connections might have to be added. The tempting proximity of the Northwestern corner of this continent to the Northeastern corner of Asia was therefore one of the chief inducements for an experi ment in that region, and expensive explora tiona nave been made for a new line of tele graph to run along the coast through Wash ington Territory, British Columbia, and a part of Russian America, and thence across to Siberia, and again down the opposite Pa cific shore. All this is changed now. The ooean is per haps the cheaper route. No Paoifio "tele graph plateau," we believe, has been mapped out with the accuracy claimed for the similar Atlantic bed; and, in a new ocean, witn un known elements entering into the problem there will still be something doubtful and ex perimental in the task. But, on the other hand, that old element oi uncertainty as to whether any telegraphic wire could be sue- cessfully worked when submerged hundreds or thousands of miles exposed to ocean cur rents and to chemical and mechanical chances, has long since been removed. We find, therefore, mat tnougn a long line oi telegraph was originally projected, and partly ... t ti . j a. 1 ..i i .

The line which the American and Asiatio Telegrapn company originauy esu mated, and to which substantially, we pre. sume, they still adhere, was about G000 miles Ions. But the islands of the Paoifio offer a orettt advantage in breaking this long line -- . . : T i and in tnis reeoect tne nuwrimw i moo hazardous, so far as the establishment of the line is concerned, than its Atianiio preueces crtra.

Thence proceeding due r,00 miles, it touohes Kodiak, where we have, or lately had, a military Thnoe. stretching southwesterly along the Alaska peninsula and the Aleutian proup of islands 450 miles, it touches Oonal Li,. From that point it leaves American iuui Kinfl and BGO miles to the west, of Attou. and with C"0 miles more, Urup, the latter on the Asiatio AniiiiAv utxAtfih of tfOO miles carries it in TTaVrQt In Jnnan. where its mission proper as an ooean cable may be said to end. But, with a northerly move of 200 miles, it reaches Posey at, where, on the mainland of ABia, it will connect with A branoh, already built, of that great Russian overlaud route which continues to the mouth of the Amoor river. From Poseyat a southerly trend of 650 miles (also submarine) carries the cable to Nagasaki, whence an easterly branoh may continue COO miles to Yokohama, and a westerly one of 4."0 to Khanghne, the bitter to connect with the Lawt India Telegraph Gom- Fany's line, so encircling the gloha. l'1'bene were the stations, we uy, aha thoso. the distances estimaiod a, rer or m.

Even as Ihoy are, it is clear that no distance between adjacent points in the long line is greater than seven hundred miles, which is a trifle in ocan telegraphy. And ftgain, it is clear that the strict trans- Pacific course ay from San Juan to Hako dadi, is only i'AW) miles in length, while that from Sitka to dapau, is only 'JV.I0. It is evi dent that the project is perfectly practicable, and that it need not be long before we have daily news here in Isew York from Japan and China, as we have it now from England and California. LET THE NEGRO ALONE. Wrvm tht y. T. Sun, The negro, having cot hia thirteenth, his fourteenth, and his fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, ought soon to disappear from the theatre of Federal politics as a star actor, and hereafter figure only on the local boards of the Southern States. Mr. Wendell Phillips wants Congress to give the negro land. But he Can get land enough for nothing under the existing Home stead aots. If he has scruples about obtain ing it at so cheap a rate, he can pay a dollar and a quarter an acre for it under the old statutes. But he wants land in the South. Well, we doubt not the great land owners of that section will sell him all he desires at low rates, or even give it to him, provided he will vote the JJemocratic ticket. This bargain will be very likely to be entered into to a moderate extent, and may prove remunera tive to both the contracting parties. Mr. Sumner wants the United States to provide schools for the Southern negroes. We presume Congress will do nothing of the sort. Xt is important lor all classes that the freedmen should enjoy the privilege of com mon schools, and no class will appreciate this fact more highly than the large property holders of that part of the Union. They will no doubt soon establish a system of schools adapted to the needs of a portion of their population in whose enlightenment and good conduct they have a greater stake than the citizens of any other section of tha country, Of course the South will not object to the educational benefactions of the North, whether they come in the shape of money or teachers, and, doubtless, after the lapse of time has soothed the prejudices of the present hour, they will welcome both There are but two things that can hereafter make the agitation of negro questions a dis turbing element in politics, ahd especially in national contests. It is the ostentatious attempt on the one hand to confer upon the negro special privileges, thus inflaming the and, on the other hand, the persistent effort to deprive him of the rights he has already obtained, thus summoning his friends to the rescue, and arousing the opposition of that large conservative class who will frown upon efforts to reopen issues which have once been closed. .... The patriotic mode of hereafter treating the entire series of controversies which sprang from the bitter root of slavery, is for both political parties and all classes of citizens to let the negro alone.
